BURLINGTON -- Burlington High School will host two financial-aid events in January.

Parents of BHS seniors are encour-aged to attend one or both events.

The first event, hosted by the Massachusetts Educational Financial Authority, is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 3. The seminar will cover the financial-aid process in detail. Carla Berg, financial-aid adviser at Bentley University, will be the presenter, beginning at 7 p.m., in the auditorium.

The second event, FAFSA Day 2013, is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 27, starting at 2 p.m. This is the first time BHS will host an event in what is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven, statewide effort.

Parents and students will receive:

* Free assistance completing the FAFSA form.

* Access to experienced financial-aid administrators and FAFSA experts who will be available to answer questions about the form.

* Guidance on the financial-aid process and the next steps after filing the FAFSA.

Parents must register at www.fafsaday.org. Although computer labs are available, it is highly recommend that parents bring a laptop that day. If any parents are interested in volunteering as a support volunteer, they should register at www.fafsaday.org/volunteer.php.
